...take on a 175 pound man will again wrestle in his own class. Kaufman is in the 175-pound class today as Goodwin is still out. Kaufman ordinarily works with the 158 pounders. Cowen has supplanted Lieberman in the 125-pound class and Lifrak, forced out of a job by Syke's return to his own class, will not wrestle today...
...vaudeville artist knows that a successive series of unsuccessful appearances will send him either to the wilds of the wastelands or to a job in a store; the college lecturer knows that his pittance is like the poor, always with him.

He had come to Manhattan shortly before. During the crisis J. P. Horgan found two young men upon whom he could...
Last week, a new mailcarrier entered the Government service, a thin, slightly wizened little man of 62 with graying hair. He was no man for arduous marches in extremes of weather. But he had not undertaken his job because of the stoutness of his legs and constitution. He had a fleet of aeroplanes, a corps of pilots. He had contracted to whisk letters and packages from Cleveland and Chicago to his home city, Detroit, and vice versa. His first plane, though he was not in it, was met at Cleveland by a fleet of Army pursuit planes. Unloading, loading...
